[PHP] Regex help
Hi Guys, I am currently creating a once off text parser for a rather large document that i need to strip out bits of information on certain lines. The line looks something like : Adress line here, postcode, country Tel: +27 112233665 Fax: 221145221 Website: http://www.urlhere.com E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TAGINCAPS: CAPS RESPONSE Tag2: blah I need to retreive the text after each marker i.e Tel: Fax: E-Email: TAGINCAPS: ... I have the following regex /Tel:\s*(.[^A-z:]+)/ and /Fax:\s*(.[^A-z:]+)/ all these work as expected and stop just before the next Tag. However I run into hassels around the TAGINCAPS as the response after it is all in caps and i cant get the Regex to stop just before the next tag: which may be either all caps or lowercase. I cant seem to find the regex that will retreive all chartures just before a word with a : regalrdless of case. I have played around with the regex coach but still seem to be comming up short so i thought i would see if anybody can see anything i might have missed. any help most appreciated.

[PHP] Dynamically loading function arguments
Hi
Currently we are building a basic content management system where we
would like to be able to write as libral customized tags as possible,
for example [[select:array_name,title]] or [[form:name]] in the
format of [[function:arguments]]
The problem that we are experiencing are that the arguments are being
parsed as a single string, does anybody know of what function / method
i can use to get around this? My default option is to write the
functions to split the single supplied argument into their respective
arguments, but i am sure there is a easier way around?
I have tried splitting them up, and rejoining them with a , but i
think i am just redoing what php does internally.
Here is my current code,
?php
// function = select, array = _title_, name= select_title
$str = {{select:_title_,select_title}};
parse($str);
function parse($str){
$reg_ex = '/\{\{([a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+):(.*)\}\}/'; //
{{function_name:paramaters,seperate,by,comma}}
preg_match_all($reg_ex,$str,$matches,PREG_SET_ORDER);
// $matches[0] = whole function
// $matches[1] = function
// $matches[2] = content / params
echo $match_count = count($matches);
for ($i=0;$i$match_count;$i++){
$output = null;
if(function_exists($matches[$i][1])){
//function has been declared
// TO-DO: add safe mode function array to specify
allowed functions
#echo DEBUG:
{$matches[$i][1]} ( {$matches[$i][2]} ) br
/\n;
$args = explode(,,$matches[$i][2]);
$cnt = count($args);
$params = null;
for($j=0; $j $cnt; $j++){
#$params .= \$args[$j];
$params .= $args[$j];
$params .= ($j != ($cnt-1))? ,: ;
}// end for
//eval(echo $params;);
//$output =
$matches[$i][1](implode(,,$args));//single str
$output = $matches[$i][1]($params);
$str =
eregi_replace($matches[$i][0],$output,$str);
} //end if
else {
// function not found or allowed remove tags
//echo DEBUG: function not foundbr /\n;
$str = eregi_replace($matches[$i][0],'',$str);
}// end else
}//end for
return $str;
}
function select($array='',$name='',$extra=''){
echo 'pre';
print_r(func_get_args());
echo '/pre';
}
?

some funcs that might help you:
compact()
extract()
call_user_func()
call_user_func_array()
also I recommend doing everything you can not to have to use
an eval() statement anywhere with this code as that would be comparatively
slow and you have to start worrying about possible security issues...
lastly my personal preference is towards the preg_*() funcs
rather than the eregi_*() funcs. regardless you should minimize the use
of regular expressions if you can... use explode(), strstr() and the like
where ever possible.
if you find a neat way of making use of call_user_func_array() then I think
you can cut the step where you rebuild the params string with commas.
also you might want to check out the way the Smarty guys implemented their
plugin/tag functionality - you may not like their style or implementation
but no doubt there is some overlap in what you are trying to do and what
they have done - so it may give you some ideas.
good luck.
Here is my current code,
?php
// function = select, array = _title_, name= select_title
$str = {{select:_title_,select_title}};
parse($str);
function parse($str){
$reg_ex = '/\{\{([a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+):(.*)\}\}/'; //

preg_match_all($reg_ex,$str,$matches,PREG_SET_ORDER);

// $matches[2] = content / params
echo $match_count = count($matches);
for ($i=0;$i$match_count;$i++){
$output = null;
if(function_exists($matches[$i][1])){
//function has been declared
// TO-DO: add safe mode function array to specify

#echo DEBUG:

$args = explode(,,$matches[$i][2]);

$params = null;
for($j=0; $j $cnt; $j++){
#$params .= \$args[$j];
$params .= $args[$j];
$params .= ($j != ($cnt-1))? ,: ;
}// end for
//eval(echo $params;);
//$output =
$matches[$i][1](implode(,,$args));//single str
$output = $matches[$i][1]($params);
$str =
eregi_replace($matches[$i][0],$output,$str);
} //end if
else {
// function not found or allowed remove tags
//echo DEBUG: function not foundbr /\n;
$str = eregi_replace($matches[$i][0],'',$str);

I can have 3 sets of the above tied to 'if's but would rather ask for an

Re: [PHP] How to prevent user directly input SQL query
Hello Thone
you can use mysql_real_escape_string() or mysql_real_escape_string()
for versions prior to 4.3.0, to aissist with quoting mysql queries,
if you use another DB, look at the manual for the relevant escape
function.
I use this function after just before i insert variables into a sql string.
function clean($var){
if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()){
if(!function_exists(mysql_real_escape_string)){
return mysql_escape_string($var);
}
return mysql_real_escape_string($var);
}
if(!function_exists(mysql_real_escape_string)){
return mysql_escape_string( stripslashes( $var));
}
return mysql_real_escape_string( stripslashes( $var));
}
Then when details are submitted, make sure you clean any unwanted
content from those variables , also make sure input is what your
expecting,
i.e if(ctype_digit($_GET['someid'])){
$cleanid = clean($_GET['someid']);
}
$sql = SELECT `field` FROM `table` WHERE `someid`='$cleanid';
Also see http://phpsec.org/ its a new website that will help you on
your way to assisting with securing your php applications.

Another question is that, are there any PHP build-in function to remove

recompile php with the --enable-calendar option.

So something like
function_exists( cal_days_in_month() )
Anyone know what the function is called.

I do this:
if (!extension_loaded('calendar'))

Hi,
From what i can see you dont even need to call global, as your passing

Re: [PHP] How to implement mass emailing?
Hi,
you can create a mailscript to run seperartly in the background, so
when a administrator wishes to send a mass mail, it writes the content
to a database and then executes a stand alone mailing script eg:
exec(' php phpmailscript.php logflile.txt '); use the to run the
script in the background.
This script can then pull info from a db (user and content) and mail
individually and log that the user was sent a email. This will also
save you the hassel of worring about administrators closing the
browser and having to resend the mail again and if there are thousands
of emails you can then schedual email's to be sent at specific times,
in the evening for example.

you can set max time by set_time_limit(), for disable

BTW register_shutdown_function() can be helpfull in

[PHP] Retrieving large results from a database ends in memory error.
Hi Guys
I am trying to retrieve over 5000 rows from a mysql database, i have
to use a SELECT * query as i am required to use all the fields for
display.
Everytime i try to run the code below i get a Allowed memory size of
10485760 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 40 bytes). Now if i change
php's memory limit in the php.ini file to something like 80MB then its
fine, but i can't be guarantied that the person who this code is for
will be able or willing to access their php.ini file.
Basically what i am asking is there a better way to write this query
so i can still retrieve all the results from the database without
running into memory issues ? should i break it up into chunks and put
it through a loop ?
Any assitance on retriving large amout of info from a db would be most
appreciated.
THis is the basic code i am using:
$q = SELECT * FROM `users` ORDER BY UserID;
$r = mysql_query($q) or die(There has been a query error: .mysql_error());
if($getR = mysql_fetch_array($r,MYSQL_ASSOC)){
do {
$userarray[] = $getR;
}
while($getR = mysql_fetch_array($r));
echo 'Done retrieved '.count($getR).' records.';
}
else {
echo 'there has been an error retrieving the results.';
}
